Royal Enfield brought the affordable adventure touring motorcycle – the Himalayan 411 – in India in 2016. Since then, the fraternity has exploded and thousands of riders have traversed the country on this bike. However, a year later, in 2017, is when the company decided to start working on a newer Himalayan – the Himalayan 450. This motorcycle boasts several firsts for Royal Enfield.
Royal Enfield always likes to keep things simple when it comes to the overall styling of their motorcycles. With the new Himalayan, the brand has stuck to the rugged and versatile roots of the Himalayas. The design approach is unique, but it still borrows some cues from the 411, like the circular headlamp and the metal frame connecting the fuel tank to the headlamp unit.
The fascia has the most rugged touch – thanks to the presence of the 21-inch front wheel and a long beak. While the windscreen is average-sized, it still adds decent mass to the motorcycle. I spent much time appreciating the side profile of the bike. The giant fuel tank, exposed chassis tubes, compact exhaust, and the spoke wheels give a sense of largeness to the motorcycle. The rear of the Himalayan 452 has Hunter 350-design inspiration and it gets turn indicators with integrated brake lights.
